Jasneet Pritam

I'm Jasneet Pritam, born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya. I'm currently pursuing my Bachelor of Fine Arts and majoring in visual studies at the University of Calgary. I approach art and design with the belief that there's always a new technique or way of expression to learn - a mentality that reinforces a strong need to constantly experiment with my skills in the different arenas the design world has to offer. I am fond of various media in traditional art and continue to explore this through my undergraduate degree and fine art commissions. I am learning and developing my skills in the world of digital design through various voluntary graphic design positions, as well as beginner-level animation. I also have interests in architectural design and interiors. These are interests that I explored as an architecture intern last year and the recent completion of my first interior design project in Nairobi. In line with my proclivity for learning, The Art of Mindfulness Event has given me a platform to apply my traditional art skills in the context of an initiative I feel passionately about- mental health. My piece intends to dissect the notion of overthinking through a personal lens.
